Detailed explanation-1: -The king was the absolute “owner” of land in the feudal system, and all nobles, knights, and other tenants, termed vassals, merely “held” land from the king, who was thus at the top of the feudal pyramid.
Detailed explanation-2: -The King divided his kingdom among the nobility, the richest and most powerful families in the realm. Each noble operated a particular portion of the kingdom, overseeing and governing it. In exchange for the power the nobles got over the local population, they pledged their loyalty to the King.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lord owned the land and everything in it. He would keep the peasants safe in return for their service. The lord, in return, would provide the king with soldiers or taxes. Under the feudal system land was granted to people for service.
Detailed explanation-4: -A feudal society has three distinct social classes: a king, a noble class (which could include nobles, priests, and princes) and a peasant class. Historically, the king owned all the available land, and he portioned out that land to his nobles for their use. The nobles, in turn, rented out their land to peasants.
Detailed explanation-5: -In broad terms a lord was a noble who held land, a vassal was a person who was granted possession of the land by the lord, and the land was known as a fief. In exchange for the use of the fief and protection by the lord, the vassal would provide some sort of service to the lord.
